That should be the easiest. Just ignoring underscores in strings. Even if not by default, I think it should be made possible. I think that it also should be possible (however not by default) to output numbers that way in string context, with the chosen delimeter. So it would be possible to just say that I want my numbers in string context to always look like 10_000_000 or 10,000,000 or 10'000'000 or whatever. Now it's to hard with clever regexes, it's very common and should be easier. - RaFaL Pocztarski, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
